One picture is better than thousand words so here is what I had in mind:

The map only had 1 layer of soil, so I had do make a cave in and drop it down.
Now the tiles behave very oddly:
grass - cannot build farm
dry grass - cannot build farm
silt - farm is ok
Before dropping, all tiles were available for farms.

edit: building and removing construction doesnt help
neither does creating and mining obsidian

ALL tiles have a silt wall directly bellow them.

Farming is weird.
Supposing I really have to have a farm like this, does anyone have a suggestion how to build that stupid farm downthere?
-----------------------
Solution - Irrigate. Muddy floors tricks the game into allowing the farm to be build. This thread was pretty pointless, but what about DF isnt...

How does the game describe the soil you're trying to farm? Is it considered subterranean? I'm pretty sure that cave-ins keep it considered above-ground, but maybe it could have glitched somehow?

By dropping the soil down several layers, the game probably got confused as to what the floor was made of - since it's now within a stone layer, it probably decided that the grass was now growing on stone rather than dirt, making it incapable of supporting farm plots when not muddy.
